Re: Is the Goverment Considering Resurrecting Old Weapons System
Never happen. Too manpower intensive and requires extensive training from skilled personnel. DE&S would never buy something with that sort of through life cost.
Of course, that ignores reliability, simplicity and a proven design that works. A broadside from a frigate would sort out any Somali pirate in the area
Brigadier Bill Aldridge, commander of British forces in the South Atlantic, responded by saying: ‘I am not expecting to hand the islands over to anybody and therefore put us in a position to have to retake the islands.’

Re: Government Considering Resurrecting an Old Weapon System?
Do we have a FOB Trafalgar then?
Ideal if we do......Some days you wake and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong, it's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble ahead..... Formally known as Mucus, before I lost the log in....
Well two days of digging and searching in the general area and we still haven't found the cunting leak. Surely there must be technology more accurate than a grumpy old bloke in a yellow hi-vis coat, wielding a length of dowelling on a thread bobbin and claiming there may be a leak in the generic area known as "under there"?

Re: Government Considering Resurrecting an Old Weapon System
Are they going to fire them on tyneside or at tyneside?
What type of ammo will they use to best rid the country of the northern menace?
A Newcastle United home game is the best time to strike.
